The very definition of theft is to take from someone without their consent & to do with that in which has been stolen as the thief (in this case government) sees fit. As the first video stated, I never signed this social contract allowing the fruits of my labors to be sold against my will. That in which I make is my property & those that take my property without my consent are committing theft.
The problem with this thinking is that you never owned any property in an absolute sense in the first place. The only places you can do that anymore is Antarctica, Mars, moons, and other completely uninhabited places. You were only allowed to "own" property under certain conditions. The supposed distinction between government and businesses/property owners is artificial. Government in a sense is the ultimate property owner and in so long as you are on the government's property, you have to abide by the government's rules.
From my perspective, anarchy and ownership of property are mutually exclusive. From ownership of property necessarily results in a government of some sort. The whole system under anarcho-capitalism of businesses providing defense and justice is simply government of another sort (which means the term "anarcho-capitalism" is a misnomer).
